Hello, everyone! Now, today we start "English journal project" community. The purpose of this group is keeping and improvement of our English and also enjoying English communication. Thankyou for becoming a member of this community.
As I write "requirement" in top-page of this community in Japanese. Mmembers should write at least one journal in a week. So every week, I make a topic of that week in which members write English journales.
And this "topic" is for this week, March 6th to 13th. Please write your journales here in this week.

Yuji, thakyou for your quick response!
You introduced yourself quickly.
And now it's my turn.

My name is akira(bob).
You can call me in any way you like.
For example, "bob", "akira" or...
By the way,
I am going to go to graduate school in Tokay university.
I an a science student and also very intersted in
English.
Today, science students are required English ability,
that's why I started to learn English.
But, I just like to communicate with people
in English.
That's a one of reasons that why I made this community.
Everyone, please introduce yourself before your
first journal.
Tuesday is my holiday. It is because I go to a school four days a week and work in a moving company on weekends. I study as hard as I can on weekdays. In addition, usually my part time job is from morning to evening. Spring is the most busy season for my company. I am going be exhausted after weekends. Therefore, Tuesday is special for me! My first journal is one of the special days.
Today, I watched a movie of Tom Cruise, my favorite actor. The title was “ハスラー2” in Japan, and original one was “the color of money”. The beginning of a story was about two men who were billiards player. The man, Pole Newman, who played billiards very well once in former days. But now he was old and he sold bourbon. One day, he met Vincent, Tom Cruise, who had a special talent. He was genius at billiards. The man decided to go to a trip with Vincent to become number one in the world at billiards.
Why am I so interested in Tom Cruise’s movie? I know the answer. He always act kinds of genius man at some fields, in movies. He was best pilot, best American football player and so on. Yes! I want to become like him. I want to be best in some field. It’s my dream. Now I realized what I hope. Of curse I know it is very difficult to get my dream. But having dream gives me a power. For example, I can make a lot of effort for my dream. Tom Cruise is a symbol of my dream, actually.
I had a enough rest today. Watching movie told me what should I do.
Thank you everyone to read this long story.
I saw a movie named "COLLATERAL", Tom Cruise's movie the other day. I just realize that the name of his character in "COLLATERAL" was also "Vincent". Strange coincidence isn't it?
Introduction
I am going to write about my study in university. Now, I note about the synopsis. The contents will be what I thought of my study, and I will write it frequently. I would talk about deeply about it, but I try to write a essay which is easy to understand to everyone.
My study is optimization of large system. The system is scheduling logic for companies. And the logic is available for many product-lines like, semiconductors lines, screws lines and so on.
Historically, scheduling problems are very difficult. in a fact, there are very few methods for only rare types of scheduling problems which have special constraints or situation. And scheduling problems usually meet dimensional problems. That’s a one of biggest difficulties of scheduling problems indeed. However, Lagrange decomposition methods highly advanced these days. And it would be possible to have an answer of some problems by the methods, even though these problems are smaller than problems in real world. As a truth, examples in papers are not as large as real ones.
On the other hands, our researching team led by professor Muramatsu started to treat real scheduling problems which is very large scale. I note that it is not usual that an university teacher visit companies and asking them to get a job in exchange for paying. But solving a real problem is really hard for us. It is because the problem from real company is too large to treat by our scheduling logic, which is written in papers and also open to public as a patent. For instance, optimization engine never work when we use it for large problems. It needs too much time, more than some hours, until getting answer.
But I have a hope for our logic. the logic separate main problem into small peaces. And then it is possible to calculate them by more than one computer at the same time using computer network. Therefore, putting the logic to practical use depends on knowledge of computer science, I suppose.
you know it's very hard topic.
i know what you mean(maybe more than 50%),
because i heard same kind of story from you.
plus, you know i'm kind of sceience-side person,
so i know some sort of "special words", such as
"dimentional" "Lagrange"(person who create some theories, right?).
anyway, go ahead~
i'll give you another comment when you finish.
It's very interesting.
I just really wonder how one logic can be implemented to multiple different fiels. Semiconductors lines and screws lines can use same logic?
There is no concern about line management, right?
It cutbacks systems of company for minimize cost.
Some kind of business economics, I heard before.
I imagine if you could solve the real problem, It is relly cathartic. Plus, your study can be directly for many companies and people who need to solve problems. It's great.
It's very interesting idea. Even I can read and understand about sceience study. It's very good opportunity for me.
Thankyou for your comments!
I appriciate your advices which give me an energy
to write more.
I suppose, line management problems are
very related to scheduling problems from my experiences.
I am now checking line management problems,
though I have studied some line balancing problmes in classes.
And I want to write about a relationship between
line management problems and scheduling next time,
if it's possible.
